Chapter 22
Hey my headache is gone for now. Must have been writer's block but some Advil quickly bulldozed that wall.
Disclaimer: you know the drill
Serena was leafing through the catalog when she heard a sleepy voice say her name.
Hotaru: Serena?
Serena: What is it honey
Hotaru: I had a bad dream
Serena: Oh, want to tell me about it? What was it about?
Hotaru: you
Serena: wha...what about me
Hotaru: I dreamed you had died and an evil woman took your place
Serena takes a sharp intake of breath as Hotaru breaks into tears
Serena: Oh, Hotaru everything is all right (she takes Hotaru into her arms) I'm not dead, I'm far from it
Hotaru: But it was so real
Serena: Most dreams seem that way but-
Hotaru: I get premonitions, premonitions like that one
Serena: It was just a dream
Darien puts his key in the lock and enters into the kitchen. He overhears the tale end of t he conversation
Darien: What was
Serena: What was what
Darien: the dream
Serena: Oh Hotaru just had a bad dream was all?
Hotaru: It was no dream; it was a premonition, a vision of the future
Darien: What kind of premonition?
Hotaru looks at Serena as if asking her if it was okay to tell him. Serena nods at her
Hotaru: I had a premonition that in the future, Serena would have died and a woman who caused it, who was evil, has taken her place. But she has such a good cover that we can't see right through her.
Darien swallows hard as if remembering his dreams
Hotaru: You've had them too haven't you?
Serena: Had what? What are you keeping from me Darien?
Darien: I've had dreams
Serena: What kind of dreams?
Darien: Call the girls; I don't want to have to say this twice.
Mina was painting toenails at the beauty salon at which she worked when she got a phone call from Serena
Mina: Hello?
Serena: Mina
Mina: Hey Serena, you need another waxing on the legs (since Serena couldn't shave very well, She paid Mina to wax her legs, at home of course)
Serena: no they're still smooth
Mina: So you just called to chat or what
Serena: When can you come over here at the house?
Mina: tonight is the soonest cause I'm swamped for the rest of the day, why?
Serena: It's important that you be there at 8 pm. Can you be there?
Mina: yeah but why?
Serena: I'll tell you when you and the girls get here at 8. Bye
~Click~
Mina: don't even give me a chance to say goodbye. Well I'll give her what's coming to her tonight
Mina continues painting toenails
Ami is at the library reading the latest brush up on your history book when she gets a call on her cell from Darien
Ami: Hello, this better be important cause I'm at the library
Darien: Ami?
Ami: Oh Darien, sorry 'bout that, I was just so deep in this book
Darien: well you have to come up for air Ami
Ami: What's on your mind

Ami: something must be terribly wrong. Now I can't get back into my book, never mind, it just picked up again
Ami continues reading her textbook
Lita is on her coffee break when she gets a call from Serena
Lita: Hello
Serena: Lita
Lita: Serena? Hey you're not hungry cause I'm on my break
Serena: No, I'm too nervous to eat
Lita: What's eating you then
Serena: Are you free at 8 tonight
Lita: Yeah why?
Serena: can you be at-
Lita: your place at 8
Serena: yeah how did you know?
Lita: Mina called me

Serena: I can't talk about it on the phone. Just please be there
Lita: of course
Serena: and Lita
Lita: yeah
Serena: thanks for being there
~Click~
A Confused Lita dials Raye's number
Raye: Hello
Lita: Raye, has Serena called you?
Raye: Lita, no why
Lita: I just got of the phone with her and she sounded like you was going to a funeral, a funeral for HER!
Raye: what did she want?
Lita: She asked me if I could be at her place at 8 and before she called me, Mina called me about Serena's call to her
Raye: she hasn't called me yet.
Lita: Listen Raye, I got to go, my breaks over
Raye: Ok Bye
Lita: Bye
~Click~
Raye puts down the phone even more confused than Lita was and she near about jumped out of her clothes when the phone rang again.
Raye: he...Hello
Darien: Raye, you sound worried
Raye: I am...I was
Darien: why?
Raye: Nothing
Darien: are you free at 8?
Raye: To go to your place?
Darien: yes, how-?
Raye: Lita and Mina
Darien: they both called you?
Raye: no, Serena called Mina, Mina called Lita, Serena called Lita, Lita called me, who'd you call?
Darien: I called Ami and now you
Raye: why?
Darien: Are Michelle, Amara and Trista with you?
Raye: You just missed them. They left together and Trista has her cell with her
Darien: Do you know the number?
Raye: 868-555-8654
Darien: thanks Raye
He is about to hang up
Raye: Darien!
Darien: huh
Raye: I can be there at your place at 8
Darien: Sorry, I forgot. Bye
Raye: bye
~click~
Darien dials the Trista's number
Trista: Hello
Darien: Trista
Trista: Darien?
Darien: Can you be at my house at 8 tonight
Trista: Yeah, we were just heading that way to get Hotaru
Darien: She needs to be there at 8 as well, this concerns her as well
Michelle: (who has been listening along with Amara) Has she done something?
Darien: no the trouble lies with Serena. See you at 8
Michelle: but-
~Click~
Darien hangs up his cell phone as Serena enters the room
Darien: They are all called
Serena: What have you been dreaming?
Darien: I'd prefer to wait till 8 tonight
Serena: You will tell me now Darien Shields
Darien runs his fingers through his hair
Darien: I don't have time, I must get back to the hospital
Serena: You just don't want confrontation
Darien looks at her. Serena winces at the pain in his eyes.
Darien: I've been having dreams similar to Hotaru's
Serena: (her voice cracks with fear) Since when
Darien: For about a month now
Serena: Why didn't you tell me
Darien: I thought about telling you, but then I remembered the dreams King Endymion of the future sent us to keep us apart but only to test our love. Those dreams meant nothing, but these dreams didn't tell me to stay away or anything, they just showed me something.
Serena: What did they show you
Darien: can't you wait till 8 tonight, I don't want to say this twice and I really need to get back to the hospital
Serena: Is it that bad?
Darien just looks at her and pleads with his eyes for her to let it go for now. Serena sees the pain in his eyes and nods.
Serena: It can wait
Darien gets up and wraps Serena in a warm embrace. Even with her size, her body seemed to meld into his as if they were meant to be together, which they were.
7:45 PM
Serena paces across her kitchen with Michelle, Amara, Trista, and Hotaru sitting in the living room watching her. Serena had been preparing lasagna but she felt that nobody would feel like eating after what Darien had to say. Serena heard Darien's key in the lock and she hurried to the door. She looked at him anxiously and he attempted a smile but it looked more like a grief-stricken face. At least he tried to encourage her. Behind him came Ami with her nose buried in a book.
7:51 PM
Lita and Mina come bouncing in but immediately become serious when they feel the mood.
8:02 PM
Raye waltzes in.
Serena: Well look who's late for a change
Serena tries to lighten the mood with a crack on Raye but it only sends an apology towards Serena from Raye.
Amara: Let's get right to the point, why are we all here?
Darien: I think you had better sit down cause what I'm about to tell you is gonna rock your boat.
Author's Notes: Hey, What's going on. What happened to my swift flow of reviews. Not that it matters whether you review my story or not. *sweatdrop* *hint-Hint*. Hey, what is Darien got to say to the girls. Maybe you'll find out soon, Maybe tomorrow or the next day. Just wait and see, You'll soon find out.
